ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.

🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.

🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.

Daily Candle BoxDaily candle overlay, high, low, and candle color based on open and close
Charts included in script: '3m', '5m', '15m', '1H'
1. Visualizes Key Daily Levels on Lower Timeframes:
The indicator overlays the previous day’s high and low as a box on a lower timeframe chart (e.g., 5-minute). This highlights critical support and resistance levels from the daily timeframe, making it easier to see where price might react without switching to a daily chart.
Use Case: Traders can identify potential reversal or breakout zones on intraday charts, aligning lower timeframe trades with higher timeframe structure.
2. Simplifies Intraday Trading Decisions:
By showing the previous day’s range (high to low) as a box, it provides a clear context for intraday price action. For example, if the price approaches the box’s top (previous day’s high), traders might anticipate resistance or a breakout.
Use Case: Useful for scalpers or day traders who need to quickly assess whether the price is near significant daily levels for entries, exits, or stop-loss placement.
3. Highlights Daily Candle Direction:
The box’s color (green for bullish, red for bearish) indicates whether the previous day’s close was above or below its open. This provides a quick visual cue about the prior day’s market sentiment.
Opening Range Breakout (15 mins Range)Take the guesswork out of your trading with the Opening Range Breakout Pro script. This tool automatically marks the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the NYSE session, then highlights the first candle to break out above or below this range—removing ambiguity from your trade entries.
The opening range is one of the most powerful concepts in day trading. By identifying the price range set during the market’s first minutes, you gain a clear framework for your trades. When price breaks out above the range, it often signals a strong bullish move; a break below signals bearish momentum. This script visually marks these moments, so you can react quickly and confidently.
Why use Opening Range Breakout Pro?
• Defined Entry and Exit Points: The script gives you clear, objective breakout levels—no more guessing when to enter a trade.
• Removes Emotional Trading: With visual cues for breakouts, you can follow a systematic approach and avoid hesitation or FOMO.
• Backtested, Time-Tested Strategy: The opening range breakout has been used by professional traders for decades to capture early trends and maximize profit potential.
• High Reward Potential: By capitalizing on the volatility and momentum of the opening session, traders often catch the best moves of the day.
• Easy to Use: Just add to your chart—no configuration needed. The script works on any NYSE stock, on a 5-minute chart.
How it works:
• Draws the opening 15-minute high and low as orange lines.
• Labels the range prices for quick reference.
• Marks the first candle to close above the range with an orange ▲, and the first to close below with an orange ▼.
Take control of your trading day, remove uncertainty, and trade with confidence—just like the pros.

LVN/HVN Auto Detection [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - LVN/HVN Auto Detection
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs LVN/HVN Auto Detection indicator is an advanced volume profile analysis tool that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) and High Volume Nodes (HVN) across multiple trading sessions. This sophisticated indicator analyzes volume distribution patterns to pinpoint critical support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, providing traders with high-probability zones for entries, exits, and risk management.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show current activity, this tool builds comprehensive volume profiles from historical sessions and intelligently filters the most significant levels. It combines real-time volume analysis with dynamic level detection, offering both visual bubbles for immediate volume activity and persistent horizontal lines that act as ongoing support/resistance references.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Multi-Session Volume Profile Analysis - Automatically calculates and analyzes volume profiles across the last 5 trading sessions
Intelligent Level Separation Logic - Prevents overlapping signals by maintaining minimum separation between LVN and HVN levels
Dynamic Timeframe Adaptation - Automatically adjusts session lengths based on chart timeframe for optimal level detection
Real-Time Activity Bubbles - Shows volume activity strength through different bubble sizes at key levels
Persistent Line Management - Creates horizontal lines that extend until price crosses them, providing ongoing reference points
Dual Threshold System - Independent percentage-based thresholds for both LVN and HVN identification
🔧 Core Components
Volume Profile Engine : Builds 20-row volume profiles for each analyzed session, distributing volume across price levels
Level Identification Algorithm : Uses percentage-based thresholds to classify volume distribution patterns
Separation Logic : Ensures minimum distance between conflicting levels, prioritizing HVN when overlap occurs
Line Management System : Tracks active support/resistance lines and removes them when price crosses through
Volume Activity Monitor : Compares current volume to 13-period moving average for activity classification
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Thresholds : LVN threshold (5-35%, default 20%) and HVN threshold (65-95%, default 80%) for precise level filtering
Volume Activity Multiplier : Adjustable volume threshold (0.5+, default 1.5) for bubble and line creation sensitivity
Flexible Display Modes : Choose between Lines only, Bubbles only, or Both for optimal chart clarity
Smart Level Separation : Minimum separation percentage (0.1-2%, default 0.5%) prevents conflicting signals
Color Customization : Independent color controls for LVN (red) and HVN (blue) elements
Performance Optimization : Processes every 15 bars with maximum 500 active lines for smooth operation
🎨 Visualization
Colored Bubbles : Three sizes (large, medium, small) indicate volume activity strength at key levels
Horizontal Lines : Persistent support/resistance lines with width corresponding to volume activity
Dual Color System : Semi-transparent red for LVN areas, semi-transparent blue for HVN zones
Information Tooltip : Optional table showing usage guidelines and optimization tips
📖 Usage Guidelines
Volume Thresholds
LVN Threshold
○ Default: 20.0%
○ Range: 5.0-35.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume below this percentage are marked as LVNs. Lower values create fewer, more significant levels. Typical range 15-25% works for most instruments.
HVN Threshold
○ Default: 80.0%
○ Range: 65.0-95.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume above this percentage are marked as HVNs. Higher values create fewer, stronger levels. Range 75-85% is optimal for most trading.
Display Controls
Volume Threshold
○ Default: 1.5
○ Range: 0.5+
○ Description: Multiplier for volume significance (High=2+threshold, Medium=1+threshold, Low=0+threshold). Higher values require more volume for signals.
✅ Best Use Cases
Swing Trading : Identify key levels for position entries and exits over multiple days
Scalping : Use bubbles for immediate volume activity confirmation at critical levels
Risk Management : Place stops beyond LVN levels where price moves quickly
Breakout Trading : Monitor HVN levels for potential breakout or rejection scenarios
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Combine with higher timeframe levels for confluence
⚠️ Limitations
Timeframe Sensitivity : Lower timeframes may produce too many levels; higher timeframes recommended for cleaner signals
Volume Data Dependency : Accuracy depends on reliable volume data from your data provider
Historical Analysis : Uses past volume data which may not predict future price behavior
Performance Impact : High number of active lines may affect chart performance on slower devices
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Session Analysis : No manual drawing required - automatically analyzes multiple sessions
Intelligent Filtering : Advanced separation logic prevents overlapping and conflicting signals
Adaptive Processing : Adjusts to different timeframes automatically for optimal level detection
Dual Visualization System : Combines persistent lines with real-time activity indicators
🔬 How It Works
1. Volume Profile Construction :
Analyzes the last 5 trading sessions with dynamic session length based on timeframe
Divides each session’s price range into 20 equal levels for volume distribution analysis
2. Level Classification :
Calculates volume percentage at each price level relative to session maximum
Identifies LVN levels below threshold and HVN levels above threshold
3. Signal Generation :
Creates bubbles when volume activity exceeds thresholds at identified levels
Draws horizontal lines that persist until price crosses through them
💡 Note : For optimal results, increase your chart timeframe if you see too many levels. The indicator performs best on 15-minute and higher timeframes where volume patterns are more meaningful and less noisy.
Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI (Realtime)Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI Realtime Updates
Overview
The Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends with RSI Realtime Updates indicator is a comprehensive dashboard designed to give you an at-a-glance understanding of market trends across nine key timeframes, from one minute (M1) to one month (M).
It moves beyond simple moving average crossovers by calculating a sophisticated Trend Score for each timeframe. This score is then intelligently combined into a single, weighted Confluence Signal , which adapts to your personal trading style. With integrated RSI and divergence detection, SMTT provides a powerful, all-in-one tool to confirm your trade ideas and stay on the right side of the market.
Key Features
Automatic Trading Presets: The most powerful feature of the script. Simply select your trading style, and the indicator will automatically adjust all internal parameters for you:
Intraday: Uses shorter moving averages and higher sensitivity, focusing on lower timeframe alignment for quick moves.
Swing Trading: A balanced preset using medium-term moving averages, ideal for capturing trends that last several days or weeks.
Investment: Uses long-term moving averages and lower sensitivity, prioritizing the major trends on high timeframes.
Advanced Trend Scoring: The trend for each timeframe isn't just "up" or "down". The score is calculated based on a combination of:
Price vs. Moving Average: Is the price above or below the MA?
MA Slope: Is the trend accelerating or decelerating? A steep slope indicates a strong trend.
Price Momentum: How quickly has the price moved recently?
Volatility Adjustment: The score's quality is adjusted based on current market volatility (using ATR) to filter out choppy conditions.
Weighted Confluence Score: The script synthesizes the trend scores from all nine timeframes into a single, actionable signal. The weights are dynamically adjusted based on your selected Trading Style , ensuring the most relevant timeframes have the most impact on the final result.
Integrated RSI & Divergence: Each timeframe includes a smoothed RSI value to help you spot overbought/oversold conditions. It also flags potential bullish (price lower, RSI higher) and bearish (price higher, RSI lower) divergences, which can be early warnings of a trend reversal.
Clean & Customizable Dashboard: The entire analysis is presented in a clean, easy-to-read table on your chart. You can choose its position and optionally display the raw numerical scores for a deeper analysis.
How to Use It
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "Simple Multi-Timeframe Trends" indicator to your chart.
2. Select Your Style: This is the most important step. Go to the indicator settings and choose the Trading Style that best fits your strategy (Intraday, Swing Trading, or Investment). All calculations will instantly adapt.
3. Analyze the Dashboard:
Look at the Trend row to see the direction and strength of the trend on individual timeframes. Strong alignment (e.g., all green or all red) indicates a powerful, market-wide move.
Check the RSI row. Is the trend overextended (RSI > 60) or is there room to run? Look for the fuchsia color, which signals a divergence and warrants caution.
Focus on the Signal row. This is your summary. A "STRONG SIGNAL" with high alignment suggests a high-probability setup. A "NEUTRAL" or "Weak" signal suggests waiting for a better opportunity.
4. Confirm Your Trades: Use the SMTT dashboard as a confirmation tool. For example, if you are looking for a long entry, wait for the dashboard to show a "BULLISH" or "STRONG SIGNAL" to confirm that the broader market structure supports your trade.

Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!

First 15-min Candle High/LowFirst 15-Min Candle High/Low – Intraday Range Indicator
This script plots the High and Low of the first 15-minute candle of the trading day using:
🟢 Green horizontal line for the first 15-min High
🔴 Red horizontal line for the first 15-min Low
These levels are commonly used by intraday traders as:
Breakout zones
Support/resistance levels
Entry/exit reference points
The script is designed to reset daily and is especially helpful for index and equity traders operating during market open volatility.
⏰ Optimized for markets operating in IST (Indian Standard Time), such as NSE/BSE, starting at 09:15 AM.
🛠️ How to Use:
Apply on 15-minute or lower timeframes
Ideal for breakout strategies, opening range setups, or volatility scalping
US30 Stealth StrategyOnly works on US30 (CAPITALCOM) 5 Minute chart
📈 Core Concept:
This is a trend-following strategy that captures strong market continuations by entering on:
The 3rd swing in the current trend,
Confirmed by a volume-verified engulfing candle,
With adaptive SL/TP and position sizing based on risk.
🧠 Entry Logic:
✅ Trend Filter
Uses a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Buy only if price is above SMA → Uptrend
Sell only if price is below SMA → Downtrend
✅ Swing Count Logic
For buy: Wait for the 3rd higher low
For sell: Wait for the 3rd lower high
Uses a 5-bar lookback to detect highs/lows
This ensures you’re not buying early — but after trend is confirmed with structure.
✅ Engulfing Candle Confirmation
Bullish engulfing for buys
Bearish engulfing for sells
Candle must engulf previous bar completely (body logic)
✅ Volume Filter
Current candle volume must be greater than the 20-period volume average
Ensures trades only occur with institutional participation
✅ MA Slope Filter
Requires the slope of the 50 SMA over the last 3 candles to exceed 0.1
Avoids chop or flat trends
Adds momentum confirmation to the trade
✅ Session Filter (Time Filter)
Trades only executed between:
2:00 AM to 11:00 PM Oman Time (UTC+4)
Helps avoid overnight chop and illiquidity
📊 Position Sizing & Risk Management
✅ Smart SL (Adaptive Stop Loss)
SL is based on full size of the signal candle (including wick)
But if candle is larger than 25 points, SL is cut to half the size
This prevents oversized risk from long signals during volatile moves.
ATR Spike KienthogoATR Spike Kienthogo
This indicator, titled "ATR Spike Kienthogo", is designed to visualize volatility spikes in the market by comparing the current Average True Range (ATR) against a dynamic threshold. The threshold is calculated as an EMA-smoothed ATR multiplied by a user-defined factor. When the current ATR exceeds this threshold, the indicator highlights it as a spike event, further classified by price direction (up or down).
The script features:
Configurable ATR smoothing methods: RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA.
Customizable spike detection threshold via spike_multiple.
Conditional color plotting of ATR:
Spike + Price Up → Green
Spike + Price Down → Red
Non-spike → User-defined neutral color, adaptive to candle direction (greenish for bullish candles, reddish for bearish candles).
This script is especially useful for:
Detecting volatility expansions.
Enhancing entry/exit timing during strong directional moves.
Confirming breakout strength or trap signals in low-volatility regimes.
The logic maintains clean separation between spike vs. non-spike conditions and offers full control over color coding for better visual integration in multi-indicator environments.
Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.
ICT IRL & ERL ZonesICT IRL & ERL Zones
This indicator visualizes Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) and External Range Liquidity (ERL) levels, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It's designed to help traders identify key liquidity zones that often act as magnet levels or reversal points in price action.
🔍 How It Works
